Manage All Team Projects Easily Using Asana
In a corporate office, more than hard work, it is the smart work that matters. Therefore, every employee needs to do multitasking to prove his efficiency. Therefore, task-specific teams assign tasks to specific team-members.
With so many tasks to be done and so many results to be analyzed, a lot of time and efforts is required by team leaders or employees who themselves have to submit the report of complete or pending tasks.
Hence, to simplify the office work, Asana app helps users to manage all office tasks and team projects.
What is Asana?
Following the motto of “From chaos to clarity”, Asana app enables teams to complete all stages of their office work. It classifies and organizes tasks, conversations projects, and dashboards.
Tracking the progress of any project becomes easy when responsibilities and sequences of steps regarding task progress are clear. Hence, a user can start a task and accomplish it, keeping a track of every activity and time taken to complete that activity.
Users can plan and implement their ideas and plan the schedule and sequence for the next steps to be taken.
Key features of Asana:
- Bird-eye view on progress: User can see progress for any project without scheduling a status meeting or sending an email.
- Smarter inbox: Users can experience better spam filters that junk away unwanted messages and allow relevant team updates.
- Task customization: Using Asana Premium, users can use custom fields to track anything (and everything) that is important to them or relevant to the tasks. Things that can be tracked include (but are not limited to) bugs, leads, or job applicants.
- Projects organizing: Users can organize their tasks into shared lists or boards for their meetings, initiatives and programs. Permissions to access projects can also be assigned. Easy to display, projects appear in sidebar. Projects can also be set to private.
- Project Templates: Templates created by Asana facilitate faster and easier addition to new workflows. Using these templates, users can track their Asana, and explore the scope of further customization of projects in order to address the requirements of team. With Asana templates, users do not have to build workflows from scratch. Projects can be set up and users can track their work from the beginning. There are different free and premium templates offered by Asana.
- Subtasks: All tasks can be broken into smaller parts in order to divide the work among multiple people. These parts are subtasks which are steps towards concluding a task. Although, they are embedded within a parent task, subtasks can function like independent tasks as they have all the same fields as a parent task. Completing a parent task does not complete the subtasks within it. Permissions can also be added to subtasks as per requirement. Tags can be added to tasks or subtasks in order to categorize them.
- Deadline settings: When the fields are being filled and the task is being created, user (team-leader) can set deadline for the tasks. Due time can also be set for employees to complete the tasks. There are fields to add descriptions so that employees can have better understanding of tasks and can complete them within deadline.
- Comments & Attachments: This feature is used for providing additional information and insights to the employees. Sometimes, additional files are required to complete a task. Such files can be uploaded as attachments. These attachments can be uploaded from computer or tablet or dropbox or any device that is being used.
- Team Pages: The Team page features all the tasks that are to be accomplished by the team (to which page is dedicated to).
- My tasks: My Tasks section lists all the tasks assigned to a particular employee in an Organization or Workspace. Employee can sort his task lists to view tasks the way it suits him.
- Inbox: Notification center that lists all notifications for an Asana user is called Inbox. It displays updates on all projects that the user is a member of or has been assigned to within a given workspace.
- Search: Search feature allows users to find tasks, projects, team (or team member) or tags in workspace or organization.
- Guests: Workspace members have full access to all projects and tasks. However, occasionally, there are people recruited for specific projects or tasks have limited access. Such recruits are called “guests”.
- Dashboards: Dashboards provide easy view of progress and status of projects. Latest status and progress chart of each project is displayed on Dashboard is a called project card.
